I'm appreciating how wonderful used computer stores of the 90s and 2000s (like Goodwill Computer Works here in #austin) were for #retrocomputing fans. You could get so much great stuff then. GCW had stacks of classic #Macs being sold for $25 as aquarium kits. I bought a Quadra 650 for cheap just to try out the native simulator when I was working on CodeWarrior for Palm OS.

I'm eager to follow more people interested in the subject of testing (software, data, etc.). Please boost? #software #testing #qa #data #automation

As the year closes out, I'm regretting not more consistently putting my for-sale art out in the world. Walking away from twitter is a big wound in my already limited footprint for selling stuff.

So, hey! I have a lot of original linocut prints, plotter drawings, and watercolor paintings available for sale at reasonable prices on my store. Maybe you can close out the year by picking some things up for yourself or someone else, or getting the word out.

My tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:

https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/make-your-own/

The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.

The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!

#JohnMastodon is proof that things *CAN* go viral here on Mastodon, but the key is that *YOU* are the algorithm. The reason that the John Mastodon meme showed up on other people's timelines is because so many users boosted the posts.

The lesson here is: please don't just favourite something if you really enjoyed it; BOOST it so that other people can enjoy it, too! This is the only reason why I bother to create as large a social graph as I can on Mastodon—to act as an amplifier. You can, too!❤️😉

I really appreciate that the @auschwitzmuseum reminds me daily about the extermination camps. It’s not intrusive, and not unduly upsetting. But it gives me a daily moment to reflect on the human losses of the Holocaust and the bigger crises of humanity before and since. Thank you.

*Sheepish request* I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? (I promise to post a photo of my dog to say thanks). #WelcomeToMastodon

“TRON: LEGACY” was released on this day in 2010.

I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes.

My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.
